Yes it happened.
Here is the story so far.
No one was injured in the crash, but there was substantial damage to the Boeing 717.
The ATSB's safety investigation report says the passenger jet hit an area of high sink just before landing causing it to drop quickly.
It hit the runway so hard that the aircraft's fuselage wrinkled.
The Boeing 717 had flown from Nhulunbuy and was carrying 84 passengers
